I am looking for a video capture card (composite Audio/Video - three
wire RCA connectors - yellow, red, white) or TV Tuner card (RF) that
is supported in Linux.
Please share brand/model if you have purchased something (@ Lam Road)
within the past 6 months or so and works for you in Linux.
(I realize bttv chip set is well supported however it is difficult to
find out the chip set without opening the box which the vendors
typically do not allow).
Hi, Arun,
I might have access to a Pinnacle PCTV Pro PCI card (bt878 chipset, I
believe). I gave it to a friend because I wasn't using it, but I don't
think he is either. If this is not particularly urgent, then I can send
this to you sometime in August when both my friend and I will be back in
Chennai.
I'm not sure if it is still available from retailers, but you'll find it
in abundance in second-hand markets. I also haven't tested audio on it,
but it works just fine with video (I only tested with a PAL connector
from a rooftop antenna but I've heard it also supports component video -
the yellow cable).
Good luck,
